Ford Econoline Pick-up 1963 – Rare classic, restored with style
This Ford Econoline Pick-up from 1963 is a genuine head-turner and a rare sight on Dutch roads. Originally designed as a compact, practical pickup for the American market, this model has today become a highly sought-after classic for vintage vehicle enthusiasts and custom-build fans.
This particular example is equipped with the powerful and smooth inline six-cylinder 2. 8-litre engine (170 ** in), offered at the time as a premium option. The engine runs perfectly and is paired with a 3-speed manual gearbox with wheel-mounted controls — as befits a classic of this kind. The odometer reads 39, 833 kilometres, and the car carries a Dutch registration, making it immediately ready to drive or display.
The paint is finished in an elegant light olive green shade, harmoniously matched with white accents that highlight the vehicle’s classic lines. The bed has been completely rebuilt with wooden planks and aluminium strips, giving a craftsmanlike yet premium look. As a finishing touch, this pick-up is fitted with Eagle Alloys alloy wheels and chrome mirrors, reinforcing its retro character.
The cabin presents a unique and authentic finish, with orange, red and black checkered upholstery — a nod to the 60s, revisited with a modern personalised twist. The whole is clean, well-kept and fully functional.
This pick-up is ideal as a promotional vehicle for a bold-brand company, as an attraction at events, or as a top-choice participant at classic car rallies and shows. Thanks to its low mileage, solid mechanics and unique appearance, it is a vehicle that inevitably draws the eye — whether stationary or in motion.
